Some of you guys may be more familiar with airbrush and the problems they're getting. This one is getting beneath my skin a bit.
I have a Badger 150 Fine (double-action). Of late it developed a problem "picking up" the paint. Air comes through just fine, but not the paint. I have cleaned a re-cleaned to no avail! And every now and again it works fine. On Saturday it worked okay when I painted the yellow for my Jordan F1, but just after that, when I tried to apply something to my bike exhausts, it was completely haywire. Most of the time nothing, then suddenly it would blast out a huge amount of paint, then nothing again. Will have to be stripped and redone...
What I did find the evening, was a little paper telling me about the assembly of the "pull-back" part of the trigger and exactly how it should be alligned. I know that part became loose in one session and shortly afterwards my problems started. But then it got the tension back and I thought all was solved. I have not done anything since.
Could it have been that? Any other suggestions? Did I miss something in cleaning? Did I clean something I shouldn't have?
